USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Michigan-Wisconsin border provides the backdrop for this mid-century topographic view of the Gogebic Range iron district. Dense industrial clusters of the Chicago and North Western railway network connect the urban centers of Ironwood and Bessemer with the smaller mining communities of Jessieville, Norrie, and Ramsay. The landscape is dominated by heavy extractive industry, evidenced by the Newport Mine and Geneva Mine, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the wooded expanse of the Ottawa National Forest.
